Chapter 25: Solitude
The night wind carries a slight chill, and occasionally a few pedestrians walk by with their heads down and hurried by. The dim orange street lamps flickered on the ground, and the cheers and dance music that set the mood could be faintly heard in the icy bar behind Wan Tao.
Wan Tao stood next to the door of the cold bar, wearing only a thin lake blue light gauze dress, and her round and white fingertips were red from the cold.
She could only bow her head and rub her hands, trying to get warmer.
She didn't bring out the console, only a cell phone with her.
Wan Tao looked down from time to time to see if there was any news on her phone, while patiently waiting for Zhan Qian to come. The streets were quiet, and it was early in the morning after the farce they tossed in the cold bar was over.
It's almost two points now.
She should have fallen asleep at this time, but tonight her mind was unusually clear. Maybe it's because I was too excited to see Shu Lei, and maybe I was also infected by the emotional confusion in the bar.
After nightfall, the temperature plummets, and there is a lot of rain in the land city of L country.
Dark clouds of lead ash brewed in the inky sky, and the ashes fluttered into it, leaving nothing but darkness. Galloping lightning weaved through the clouds, and thunder resounded in the wake of it.
After a while, the rain came like a needle and quickly moistened the asphalt road.
Wan Tao raised his hand to cover his head and tried to block the rain, but the block was very limited.
She stepped back slightly, cowering under the eaves in front of the cold bar. But the rain still wet the hem of her skirt and the little leather shoes she usually loved.
She's a little annoyed now.
However, if she is given a chance to choose again, she will still respect Shu Lei's intention to send her away first, and stay behind to cover herself.
If Zhan Qian knew that Shu Lei was back, he would definitely make a small report to Si Ji'an.
At that time, it will be up to Shu Lei's wishes.
If it was Minglin, she could be a little more relieved, after all, Minglin had a small handle in her hand, and he would not be stupid enough to push himself into the fire pit.
Shu Lei didn't want to see Si Ji'an.
Or maybe she doesn't have the courage to face that fear.
Wan Tao doesn't know what she's afraid of, is she unwilling?
The cold rain pierced her face, and the small splash of water at her feet made Wan Tao come back to her senses and notice a dark blue Porsche driving in front of her.
The car door opened, and Zhan Qian's umbrella didn't bother to walk in front of her.
"Zhan ......"
Before she finished speaking, she was hugged by Zhan Qian, and Wan Tao could even feel his chest rise and fall with his breathing, as if he was a little short, as well as his accelerated heartbeat.
Did you come in a hurry?
Zhan Qian hugged her into the car, but still didn't mean to let go of her. His eyes were calm and terrifying, and he held her for a long time without speaking.
"Don't worry, I'm just out looking for someone. ”
Feeling that his breathing had calmed down, Wan Tao took the initiative to explain to him briefly at the right time.
Her hands were propped up on Zhan Qian's chest, slightly distancing, and the physical contact made her feel uncomfortable, she was still not used to being held like this.
But there's no way she's going to stab Shu Lei out, at least not now.
But she couldn't lie to Zhan Qian, who was a very responsible and loyal person, and Wan Tao could trust him.
"Do you know how dangerous it is?"
He didn't reply, just put her on his lap and looked down at her. The anger in his eyes was suppressed by him, but he felt even more angry when he met her blank and innocent gaze.
Miss Xinning was completely unaware of how dangerous her situation was.
Those people still stared at her, and she didn't know anything.
He only quietly cleaned up two yesterday, those two people are not from the same organization that tied her up before, and Mr. has made too many enemies outside, and now it seems that someone must be targeting her again.
After that, Zhan Qian followed her inch by inch, but when she said that she was going to take a bath today, he waited for almost an hour and she didn't come out.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to use violent means.
However, as soon as the bathroom door opened, she disappeared, as if the whole person had disappeared out of thin air.
Zhan Qian didn't want to think in the worst direction, but being able to disappear under his nose didn't allow him not to think about it.
Luckily, he was able to get in touch when he dialed her phone.
"I know, it's going to be fine. ”
Wan Tao nodded affirmatively, the code name Z was by her side now, and he wouldn't be so bored to tie her up again.
Even if something happens, others can't help her.
Be confident, she is not in the category that normal people can understand at all, and there is an invisibility charm that is not hiding wherever she wants.
And then there's a game console.
As long as she can use the universal pen, then she is invincible, and she can get a pair of wings and an ability to fly away or kill all sides.
She wasn't worried at all.
But Zhan Qian was very nervous about her safety, because Zhan Qian didn't know that she had the means to protect herself, but Wan Tao couldn't find a suitable reason and explanation to appease Zhan Qian.
"Zhan Qian, believe me! Even if I encounter danger, I can get out of it. ”
Simplicity and brutality are the most straightforward approach.
Zhan Qian looked at her with burning eyes, the calmness in his eyes seemed to be able to see through her light, and the rain outside the car fell on the car window in unison, crackling and playing an out tune, forming a thin rain mist.
It wasn't until a slight chill seeped into the car, causing goosebumps on her skin, and she instinctively shrunk back that she felt cold.
Just now when she was standing outside waiting for Zhan Qian, she was already drenched in the rain, although Zhan Qian also got some water, but not as much as her.
It's true that her physique has improved, but now it's only a little full, and she still can't stand the rain, and she may catch a cold when she goes back.
Zhan Qian silently took off his blazer and covered her directly, his slender fingers flicked the heater in the car twice, and his chin and Adam's apple were dimly outlined by the dim lights into lines.
The clothes were half wet from the rain, mixed with the fresh smell of the damp grass and trees on a rainy day.
Wan Tao gathered the coat with his breath and temperature on his body, the chill around him seemed to be expelled, and his heart was inexplicably steady.
"Thank you. ”
"Tell me next time I go out, it's inconvenient for me to follow and say it directly. ”
Zhan Qian carried her to the co-pilot seat next to her and fastened her seat belt, he could say this and already believed Wan Tao's words.
The young lady may have some means that he is inconvenient to know, otherwise he would not have done anything to sneak out at night.
He could understand it, but the feeling of being excluded was not very pleasant.
This makes him seem to be overly worried.
Zhan Qian's hand tightened the steering wheel, he tightened and didn't speak again, but his heart was stinging slightly.
It's like a tiny rain needle hitting the windshield in front of you.
"Don't worry, Zhan Qian, I won't embarrass you, I'll tell you when the time comes. ”
Wan Tao pulled the coat on her body and put her hand in her arms to cover the heat.
Speaking of this, Wan Tao paused, "You can send me next time you go out." ”
He saw the confidence in her eyes clearly, and clearly told him that now was not the time, and he knew that he was still trusted, and that was enough.
He sighed helplessly, "Okay." ”
